Recruiter Screen
1
The recruiter screens every resume for technical requirements, education, & experience to make sure there is a potential fit.
Phone Screen
2
A recruiter will contact you, explain the process, and let you know what to expect. The recruiter may ask for your SAT scores and college GPA, if this is a technical engineering role.
On Site Interview
3
The first on site interview will be with four or five people for 45 minutes each. If this is a technical role you will be asked to solve technical problems in real time, which may include coding a solution or white-boarding a design. You may also be asked some questions like “How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?” or “There are 8 balls. Seven of them weigh the same, but one is heavier. Using a balance scale, how do you find the heavier ball with just two weighings?”
Interview Feedback
4
Every interviewer submits their feedback in a standard format about the candidate and assigns a numerical ranking to the candidate. A search is done to match the candidates resume to employees resumes to find matches for schools or companies for the years specified. An email is sent to the Google employee asking their opinion on the candidate.
Hiring Committee
5
The committee consists of senior managers and directors, and experienced employees from this domain. They see all the potential candidates for all open jobs in this area so they have a very good feeling for the required capabilities and availability of highly qualified people. The committee reviews every piece of feedback as well as the resume and work experience.

Hiring decisions are made by hiring committees.
This means that no single hiring manager can make a potentially bad decision by themselves.
Examples of Google’s Crazy Interview Questions • How many golf balls can fit in a school bus? • How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle? • How many piano tuners are there in the entire world? • Why are manhole covers round? • Design an evacuation plan for San Francisco • How many times a day does a clock’s hands overlap? • A man pushed his car to a hotel and lost his fortune.
